Asana

Asana is a web and mobile work management platform designed to help teams organize, track, and manage their work.

With the Asana app, you can:

  • Link Qase test cases, test runs, and defects to Asana tasks

  • Create a new Asana task or connect an existing Asana task when you file a defect during a test run in Qase

  • Sync status of a Qase Defect to a connect Asana task (i.e., as soon as you mark the defect as “Resolved” in a connected defect, the Asana Defect will be marked “Completed”).

Installation

  • Click “Apps” in your Qase workspace

  • Click the Asana card, then hit “Install now” -
